What a contemptible man he is:
I don't recall anyone from the Albion endorsing Prescott, rather pointing out that his visit to Adenstar couldn't possibly have had anything to do with Falmer, as Baker keeps insinuating despite the fact that he knows better.
Seagulls should fly from Prescott’s patronage
I was surprised by the defence of John Prescott mounted by those connected with Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club following my referral of matters relating to Mr Prescott to the Metropolitan Police for investigation.
There have been a large number of questions asked about Mr Prescott's behaviour in recent months.
These include his misuse of Dorneywood, which he has now had to relinquish, his non-payment of council tax, which he has had to repay, and questionable meetings with an American businessman hoping to open a casino in the former Millennium Dome and his acceptance of hospitality and gifts from that individual.

I believe there are issues which need to be considered in relation to Mr Prescott's behaviour under the Prevention of Corruption Acts 1906 and 1916 and I have therefore made a formal complaint to the Metropolitan Police in this regard.
As part of those enquiries, I believe it is reasonable for his behaviour in relation to the Falmer issue to be examined.
My views on Mr Prescott are not unique. In a recent opinion poll, the vast majority of the public expressed the belief that he is not doing a good job and should resign as Deputy Prime Minister. The Daily Mirror alleges even cabinet ministers barely talk to him and find him "increasingly irrelevant".
It is therefore surprising to see the staunch defence of Mr Prescott advanced by those connected with Brighton and Hove Albion.
My complaint is in respect of Mr Prescott, not anyone connected with the Albion.
I would have thought it advisable for the Albion to be distancing themselves from the Deputy Prime Minister at this time, rather than endorsing him.
